convenient location friendly staff satisfactory selection chipped paint musty smell compact bathroom
The hotel location proved convenient. It allowed easy access to nearby attractions. The staff demonstrated AMAZING friendliness and a willingness to assist. The breakfast offered a satisfactory selection.
The hotel showed signs of needing an update. I noticed chipped paint in several areas. The corridors had a musty smell. The bathroom felt small and compact.

the bathroom cleanliness was substandard. i noticed mold in the shower area (it needs immediate attention). a very unpleasant smell, suggestive of blocked drains, permeated the space. some bathroom mold remover and drain unblocker are necessary.
